Invest in Scalable, Affordable Workforce Housing

Pocket communities deliver the missing middle. IDS makes them bankable and buildable.

What Are Pocket Communities?

Pocket communities are small-scale neighborhoods of 30–50 homes built on modest lots (4,000–5,000 sq ft). They combine the feel of traditional neighborhoods with the speed and efficiency of factory-built housing.

These communities primarily focus on homeownership, helping families build stability and equity. Rental models are possible when led by mission-driven partners who prioritize social impact over profit.

Why Invest in Pocket Communities

  • Missing Middle Solution: Serves workforce families, veterans, and seniors who are priced out of today’s market.

  • Bankable Projects: Homes are financeable with FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional mortgages.

  • Efficient Delivery: Factory-built methods compress timelines, reduce risk, and improve cost control.

  • Community Stewardship: Designed with greenspace, safety, and dignity at the forefront.

Why Partner with IDS

IDS is the hub — orchestrating general contractors, housing providers, lenders, and civic leaders.

We ensure:

  • Clear Compliance: Projects align with local codes and by-right pathways.

  • Faster Timelines: Factory-built delivery reduces construction windows to 4.5–6.5 months per home.

  • Trusted Partnerships: IDS builds with collaborators who share values of stewardship and impact.

From Site to Neighborhood

Every project follows a structured, transparent path:

  1. Feasibility – Land review, utilities, financing pathways.

  2. Planning – Site design, lot layout, stakeholder alignment.

  3. Delivery – Manufactured or modular homes installed on permanent foundations.

Real Projects Underway

From the Gianone Project (34 homes on 3.998 acres) to the Martinez ADU Expansion (3 manufactured dwellings), IDS is proving the model works. These case studies show how pocket communities deliver attainable housing while creating lasting community impact.
